Chapter 389 A Familiar Gaze
Jonathan escorted Angela to a luxurious mansion that offered both dining and
lodging. While the exterior appeared flawless, the interior revealed a completely
different world.
The waiter guided the pair to the secluded courtyard Jonathan had reserved in
advance, complete with a private hot spring.
After a relaxing soak in the hot spring and a satisfying meal, Angela finally began
to unwind after two days of tension.
Meanwhile, Florence's expression darkened further following another
unsuccessful attempt to track down Jonathan.
Growing increasingly frustrated, she turned to the man beside her and
demanded, “Is this your idea of a plan? We haven't even caught a glimpse of
him!”
The man, sweating profusely, struggled to comprehend why Jonathan had
managed to evade their monitoring area.
“Perhaps he... resides at the office?” he tentatively suggested.
Unable to come up with any other explanation, especially since they had
stationed multiple individuals at various exits, he felt at a loss.
Filled with resentment, Florence impatiently inquired. “Is there any other way to
locate him?”
After two days, she realized that Jonathan was purposefully avoiding her. Every
time she attempted to find him at the company, he conveniently remained absent.
Despite her efforts to stake out the company building, Jonathan devised a
method to elude her surveillance.
Florence was unable to find any opportunity to encounter Jonathan.
The astute n man beside her could only shake his head in resignation. The other
party has shown no interest in the business proposal. There's nothing more we
can do.”
Florence glared at him. “If there's no way, can’t you figure it out? You're utterly
useless.”
The man chose not to engage in an argument with Florence and simply hung his
head.
After a moment, Florence impatiently remarked, “My brother's funeral is
scheduled for tomorrow. Jonathan should be present, right?”
“He should be, as the Shelton Family has also invited him.”
Prior to this, Florence had verbally invited Jonathan, but such an invitation
needed to have formality. Subsequently, upon Florence mentioning the invitation
to Jonathan, the Shelton Family sent an official
invite.
Upon hearing this, Florence finally relinquished her discontent and departed with
her companions.

Angela refrained from further inquiries as she was not well-versed in Jonathan's
business affairs.
“Did the examination proceed smoothly?” Jonathan inquired.
“Without any hitches, Angela attirmed, proceeding to share details of the
examination with Jonathan.
Listening with a smile, Jonathan and Angela enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere.
After conversing for a while. Angela noticed Jonathan gazing at her tenderly. Her
heart skipped a beat, prompting her to ask, “How have you been these days,
Jonathan?”
“Fine, Jonathan responded, adding. Thave a funeral to attend tomorrow, and I'in

to go.
“A funeral? Whose? Angela inquired curiously, as she was unaware of Jonathan's
acquaintances in Northland besides Yarrison and Spencer.
The eldest son of the Shelton Family
Initially, Jonathan had only received a verbal invitation from Florence and had not
confirmed his attendance. However, he received a formal invitation from the
Shelton Family before picking up Angela, prompting him to consider attending.
Frowning in thought. Angela recalled the presence of a Shelton Family in
Northland after a moment of
reflection.
Since she had never interacted with anyone from the Shelton Family, her
knowledge about them was
limited.
“Would you like me to accompany you?"
Angela speculated that Jonathan's hesitation stemmed from his need to leave, so
she inquired.
After a moment of contemplation. Jonathan nodded.
Uncomfortable with the idea of leaving Angela at homedecidedision to bring her
along-
Following the test, Angela had a two-day break, during which Jonathan tried to
keep her in his sight as much as possible.
They woke up, freshened up the next morning, and returned to their lodging.
In the afternoon, they visited the Shelton Family together.
The Shelton Family had invited guests to their mansion on the mountain to attend
the funeral of their

eldest son, but the event felt more like a regular banquet than a somber
occasion.
After paying their respects, they made their way to the banquet hall.
To his surprise, he encountered Florence by chance.
As the heir of the Shelton Family. Florence was not entertaining guests but
wandering aimlessly.
Upon spotting Jonathan, she approached them without hesitation.
“Mr. Lawson, it's a pleasure to see you.” Florence greeted him.
Jonathan cordially greeted her and embraced Angela tightly.

Instead of responding coldly, Jonathan introduced Angela. “She is my wife.”
Angela smiled warmly at Florence, but the gesture was interpreted as a
challenge.
“Mrs. Lawson, Florence repeated, her expression unreadable.
“Miss Shelton,” Angela replied, sensing something off about Florence.
Florence remained silent, blocking their path.

“Jonathan, who was that?” Angela inquired as they walked towards the banquet
hall.
“That was Miss Shelton from the Shelton Family, Florence, Jonathan explained.
Recalling Florence's unsettling gaze, Angela noticed Yaxley approaching.
“Yaxley,” she greeted.
After exchanging pleasantries, they realized the funeral was more than just a
simple ceremony.
